In February, Erin Wade and Allison Arevalo will celebrate the third anniversary of their popular Oakland mac-and-cheese restaurant, Homeroom.

Later this year, they hope to open a second project, right down the block.

They’ve laid claim to the space at 4001 Webster Street, at 40th, and they plan to open a retail extension of Homeroom there, hopefully this summer.

The plan is that the new project — which carries a working name of Homeroom To Go — will be divided between a small retail shop in front and large commercial kitchen in the back. The new kitchen will take some stress off the restaurant, in addition to opening up more catering options.

The retail shop will eventually be the new headquarters for all of Homeroom’s to-go orders. Like they have now, there will be a fly-through line for online orders, with curbside pick-up. There will be mac-and-cheese platters ready for takeout, as well as salads, sandwiches, cookbooks, hot sauces (and other nifty condiments for mac-and-cheese), and a full wall of beer and wine, designed like a periodic table. The periodic table will be just one of many playful components that Wade and Arevalo hope to carry over to the new space; for example, they are planning to have a photo shoot area — just like prom — where people waiting for orders can pose for photos.

“It’s just going to be a fun spot to pick up a platter of mac-and-cheese, or a party platter,” says Arevalo.

And in February, Homeroom will ring in its three-year anniversary with a weeklong special combo of Dungeness mac-and-cheese, with beer/wine and sides for $30.
